The Tales of Lost Love



If ever a love has been known so true,
And many a tear drop should fall,
The heart would be void, the soul wrought with pain,
And lost love would not hear it's call.

So timeless and precious is love that's lost,
So priceless the times that remain,
Cherish the love that is shared each new day,
For lost love your heart may sustain.

When lives that are joined are broken apart,
Two people that fit like a glove,
The skies fill with sadness, the stars won't shine,
Because of the tales of lost love
